Spoiler alert. I gave it 4 stars because I love Diane Chamberlain and her writing is flawless. I fell in love with the characters right away and could not put this book down. although I did not like Peggy at first she turned out to be a very warm and loving person. I didn't like that Diane left it open and we did not get to find out if Suzanne got to keep Tyler/Cody. But overall the story line was great and the suspense of who was responsible for all of those murders was great too. I thought it was Adam and it turned out to be Jessie. [author:Diane Chamberlain|93345 ( ) I don't believe this author is capable of writing a bad story. This one I could not stop listening to! What would you do if you lost custody of your only child? Escape? That is exactly what the main character does. My heart cried for this woman and the manipulations her ex husband performed to get custody of their child. A child he never wanted. I felt every emotion that this woman felt. The only difference is I raged about the ex husband while the character never did. I think this may be an aspect of Diane Chamberlain's writing. Focusing on love and not hate. This story has the bonus of an additional mystery that provides incredible suspense. This was an older release of Diane Chamberlain and while I enjoy her newer novels so much better, this was also a great read. Susanna runs off, leaving the man she loves, when she loses custody of her son to her ex, Jim and his new wife Peggy. Trying to relocate to somewhere no one knows her, she makes a new life for herself but cannot let go of certain parts of her past and against her better judgement becomes close with people in her new town and soon finds herself in a mystery she hadn't bargained for. I am not sure I agree totally with what she did, there were times when I didn't like her too much, she believes she is doing the best thing but is it the best for her or for Tyler? She believes she is, Jim is a piece of work, but there are obstacles she didn't consider that could prove to be dangerous for her and/or Tyler. I found myself wanting to slap Peggy throughout most of the book. I did find it a little predictable, and some parts totally unrealistic but it's a quick read and an enjoyable enough one even if it is missing some of the magic of her newer releases. I discovered another well written story in this book. The author used the same basic outline as her other books, but she did use some interesting characters. I enjoyed the characters and the emotions they displayed. Some parts of this book moved very slowly, but those parts were surrounded by emotion filled adventure. I have found that this author is okay to read once in awhile, but I get bored with the same outline of story when I try to read her work back-to-back. I look forward to discovering what other people thought about this book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Fiction.
Literature.
Susanna Miller loses custody of her eleven-month-old son, Tyler, but rather than turning the little boy over to her ex-husband and his new wife, she goes on the run. She dyes her hair, changes her name, and escapes from Boulder, Colorado, leaving behind everyone she knows, including Linc Sebastian, the man who has been her best friend since childhood and who knows her better than anyone. Susanna lands in Annapolis, Maryland, alone, frightened, and always looking over her shoulder for someone who might recognize her. Just as she's beginning to feel safe in her new surroundings, she stumbles across information that could save the lives of many people . . . if she's willing to take it to the police. But going to the authorities means revealing her identity, admitting her guilt, and worst of all, losing her son. Equal parts family drama, love story, and thriller, The Escape Artist is the poignant story of a mother's unbreakable bond with her child and the resiliency of a love that transcends distance and time.
